The Diocesan Commission for Catholic Filipino Ministries (DCCFM) and the Filipino community in the Paterson Diocese express heartfelt gratitude to The Beacon for consistently covering their yearly Filipino Saints Celebration, the Annual Simbang Gabi novena, and other Filipino-inspired activities. These features have beautifully showcased Filipinos’ rich culture and heritage far from our beloved homeland, the Philippines.
“Through your publication, you have helped cultivate a deeper understanding of our traditions and fostered unity within our faith community. Seeing how our faith and culture continue to thrive and inspire others in this diocese is truly a blessing. ‘Maraming salamat po’ (thank you very much) and ‘mabuhay,’ ” the DCCFM and the Filipino community said in a statement.
